Codename: Diamondhead (or something like that)

Nope. I've never heard of that movie but looking it up shows that my scene is from a movie about 10 years earlier.

Diabolik it is! Also called Danger: Diabolik.
MST3K did have a go at the movie, but it wasn't one of the better MST3K treatments as the movie is actually not that bad at all, so there wasn't a lot of parody material to work with. And, the full-length version (MST3K versions are usually edited down for time) is quite good really. It was on TV a couple of weeks ago and we watched it and were surprised that it was a solid film.

Such a great movie. And soon enough to be put through the remake grinder.
*sigh*

It was the dumb way the pawns went off and slaughtered their fellow pawns while the kings lounged about doing nothing that always got to him; if only the pawns united, maybe talked the rooks around, the whole board could've been a republic in a dozen moves."- Commander Vimes in Thud! by Terry Pratchett
